January 2017

Next week, thousands of innovative educators will be making their way to Austin, Texas for the 37th TCEA Annual Convention & Exposition. TCEA is “a unique experience that will engage teachers and administrators with the tools, techniques, and resources needed to improve teaching and learning through technology.” If you are looking to learn about the latest educational technology and best practices, this is the conference for you.

The Future of Education Technology Conference (FETC) is taking place in Orlando Florida from January 24 - 27. It is the “largest, national, independent education technology conference” that brings education and technology leaders together from around the globe...including Texthelp! If you are interested in the latest education technology, as well as best practices and strategies for educators, technologists, administrators and more, this is the conference for you.

This week, several Texthelpers are heading to Orlando, FL for the ATIA 2017 Conference, “the world’s most extensive assistive technology conference”. If you are interested in the latest assistive technology, as well as best practices and trends for educators, teachers, and districts, this is the conference for you.

By now, you’ve probably heard some mumblings about Texthelp and our newest product g(Math), a tool that is making math digital. You may be saying to yourself, “But I thought Texthelp was all about tech for reading and writing?” And we were. Until John McGowan, the developer of g(Math), joined the team and we added math to our portfolio.

To learn more about John’s story, the history of g(Math), and what’s coming up next, we sat down with John for a brief Q&A. Check it out here!

2017 is off to a busy start with many students around the world back to school and lots of interesting education conferences taking place in the next few months.

At Texthelp, January and February are extremely busy months for us as we’re flying all over the globe to attend events and conferences. To make life a little easier for you, we’ve detailed the events we think you need to know about, and highlighted useful sessions for you to attend.
